I the proud owner of a $50 BT 3000 from a garage sale. It works great and all now seems fairly well aligned. On past table saws I always attach a 1x3 to the front of the miter gauge so I can get it really close to the blade when I need to do a lot of fine, small work. The only thing I can figure out is sheet metal screws as you can't use bolts that comes out the back of the miter guage. The plastic things on the end of the miter gauge are useless and on my saw, all cut up. Do any of you have a simple, elegant solution? Couldn't find anything by searching.
As an aside, I recently gave myself a budget of $300 to buy a new table saw. I need a reasonable size table for all my craft work done with the miter gauge. They sure aren't available and decided I would do better to just tune up the BT 3000.
